The window in which a punctured tyre can still be saved is measured in miles driven, not in hours on the clock. A tyre that lost its air on the A5 Edgware Road at eleven at night is very likely repairable at eleven at night. Drive it home, then to work in the morning, and the inside of the casing has been ground to powder by the rim.
That is why we run a fitting service through the night rather than a phone line that takes bookings for tomorrow. A proper repair means the tyre comes off the wheel, the inner liner gets examined by eye for run-flat scoring, the hole is reamed to clean rubber, and a combined plug and patch is bonded in to BS AU 159. Then the wheel is spun up and rebalanced before it goes back on. There are quicker methods. A string pushed in from the outside is quicker, and an aerosol is quicker still, and both of them are the reason so many repairable tyres end up in a skip along with a dead pressure sensor. We do the slow version, at whatever hour you found the nail.
The useful thing about an overnight repair is what it saves you the next morning. We do the second, across NW4, 24 hours a day and every day of the year. Driveways in West Hendon, side streets and supermarket car parks are all normal working ground at three in the morning. Edgware Road, the M1 and the streets around Colindale sit inside NW4. Room to jack and work: Brent Cross, Colindale and the M1 all give it. Blocked drive in Brent Cross? Open kerb in Colindale? Either works. NW4 takes in Colindale and The Burroughs, and we work the lot.

Traffic around here barely stops, which is the practical case for fitting at your address rather than driving to a bay. We reach cars across Hendon Central (NW4) and Colindale (NW9) at any hour, and if you work nights near Cricklewood or Golders Green we would sooner meet you at the car than have you drive it anywhere on a flat.
A flat found at the end of a late shift, in a bay that would have been impossible to get a recovery vehicle into. The tyre was still holding its shape, the injury was central, and it took a full repair rather than a replacement.
One had been in for weeks and sealed itself, the other had just gone through. Both were inside the repairable band, so both were patched from the inside and the wheel rebalanced once.
Nothing was open and the car was needed at six. Rather than let the owner drive it soft down Hendon Way in the morning, we turned out that night and put the original tyre back on the car.
No, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. The repairable zone is the central band of the tread. Shoulder damage, sidewall damage, an oversized hole or a casing that has already been run flat all mean a new tyre, and we would rather lose the repair than fit a patch that should not be there.
It sprays a coating over the exact surface a patch has to bond to, it rarely holds pressure for long, and it frequently ruins the sensor inside the wheel. A repairable puncture becomes a tyre plus a sensor. Leave it in the boot.
You get the price on the phone before we set off, and it is the price you pay when we finish. Nothing gets added because of the hour.
Yes. A vulcanised patch repair is rated for the full speed and load of the tyre, which is precisely why it is done from the inside rather than poked in from the outside. The wheel is rebalanced so there is no shimmy on the M1 either.
Not for us. The valve and sensor assembly comes out with care when the tyre is broken down, gets inspected, and goes back with a fresh seal. It is aerosol sealant that kills them, not tyre fitters.
